Terminator T-800 Blueprints

Thanks! Just make sure you download new drawings before you start building, I've been updating and re-uploading drawings fairly regularly.

I found some hardware on the McMaster Carr web site that I thought would work well for holding the fingers together.
Here is an exploded view
The Hardware-
Standoff (for all finger joints)
Standoff (for all thumb joints)
Screw (for all medial/proximal joints)
Screw (for all distal joints)
Washer (for all distal joints)
I updated the knuckle disks with countersunk holes for the hex screws-
Medial/Proximal Knuckle Disk
Proximal/Metacarpal Knuckle Disk
Thumb Medial/Proximal Knuckle Disk
Thumb Proximal/Metacarpal Knuckle Disk
The 'distal knuckle disk' for the thumb is no longer used.

Hi there,

It seems like a great project.

What happened to it?

Still continuing?

I may consider jumping in the project.

Please send me a pm if you interested in having a help.

Best.

Rahman, I commented in your other Terminator thread, but forgot to mention that there is are a set of blueprints out of Japan that are scaled to a 1/2 size. Members rescale those and usually use cardboard to create the base for a life size endo. I haven't been able to download a copy, but there is a seller on ioffer.com who sells them on CD.
 
I didn't realize it had been so long since I last updated this.
I've been having some trouble with the palm of the hand. This is what I have so far-

How does the shape look to you guys? When I hold the resin piece up to the computer screen everything looks okay, but the fingers are overlapping in my model so something must not be quite right. It's such a finicky piece, I'm not sure if it's the shape of the plate, the location of the holes, or the angle of the upright pieces.

Just to correct you on this, it's a papercraft file, not blueprints..so you basically print it out, cut it, glue in places where it says so, and you make Endo.
It sounds way easier then it actually is!

+1!
I got as far as two forearms with hands and a partially finished skull! There is a LOT of pieces...
 
I think the half scale endo is copyrighted, but on papermodelers.com, member Ing. Spendlik designed and posted a 1:1 papercraft terminator arm.
Here is the thread
and here are the links where you can "stáhnout soubor" the PDFs-

*"Stand by T2 White version pdf" (661.24 KB) - stáhnout soubor*
(click stáhnout soubor, then click stáhnout pomalu)
You can also download the parts, but not the instructions, from his website.
There is also a 1:1 skull here.
 
Just wanted to say thanks again for posting this for all of us. Makes me want to buy a small milling machine setup now :lol
 
I just thought I would share a couple of ideas I have been working on.
The first is a mockup of a linear actuator for use in the forearm. Here is an animation. It has a small electric motor that turns a piece of threaded rod. On the threaded rod is a drive nut which is prevented from turning. Since the drive nut can't turn, it is forced to travel up and down the threaded rod.

The second is a method of attaching the control cables to the fingertips. Based on this image, it looks like there is a hole in the fingertips parallel to the joint axis and located near the cable attachment point. Here is the design I came up with based on this. If I use a 1/32" cable, I can use a compression sleeve on the end of the cable that will be small enough to fit inside a hole in the fingertip. The spring pin overlaps part of the hole and keeps the compression sleeve from sliding out of the finger. The spring pin also provides a smooth radius for the cable to bend around.
 
I wonder if a 3D print would be feasible ...? Nice way to get an endo arm that was an original :)
 
Just for kicks, I uploaded a piece to Shapeways. Looks like you can get it 3D printed, but it won't be cheap. They charge $5.13 for a single fingertip...
Here is the link
I wonder if I could get into any legal trouble by posting these files for sale there. It looks like there are a number of other terminator files already on the site, but I don't see any that are 1:1.
 
The least expensive recast endo arm on ebay is around $130 shipped. For that, you get a bunch of bad resin that needs loads of clean-up. You still don't have an articulated arm/hand when you're finished.

Call it a "cyborg arm" if you like :) . If I could get a 3D print of all the pieces for around $200, I'd be all over it!

Price up a full arm and toss up an interest thread in the JY; the only thing you have to lose is a little time. (BTW, I'd expect and *want* you to add in enough so you made something on it!)
